Voters have made marijuana legal in some places of the state. Why don’t they make prostitution legal as well?
It could put money into the economy just like any other job would. The catch, however, that it would be legal only when done in brothels. As far as trying to pick up clients on the street, and in bars, that would be against the law to do. And there would be no more hiding it such as in massage parlors or like that.
The prostitutes would be checked by a doctor every month, to make sure the business is clean. There would be certain health restrictions and safety precautions to follow as well.
The prostitutes would earn a paycheck, and be taxed, just like they would any other job, and they would file a tax return.
Other countries do the same thing, and we could make it legal across the nation as well.
